DC Universe Classics

[Icetron]

Only one I'm interested for Wave 4 is probably Artemis. I hear these are already hard to find in the US so I'll have loads of fun trying here in Canada...

wow I never realized how maniy figures were in that set including atom smasher. I can't wait for this to come out. I haven't seen any of the urrent set anywhere its kinda making me mad. it was so easy for me to get the last set cause I work at target. but the last time we got the series 3 set was in august and we haven't filled those pegs since.

Because DCUC has done so well they are making bigger BAF's and more characters per wave. I may have been mistaken about the prestige character too. Case assortments for that wave list Batman and Green Lantern as being the characters with stands. Atom Smasher is also supposedly huge. Like Apocalypse BAF huge.

 

[Ncrawler333]

Flash will come with a base, the Batman, Green Lantern, and other All-Star rereleases will come with stands

Last I heard, Atom Smasher is only going to be about 10 inches tall, slightly taller than Grundy.

 

[Roughneck]

My TRU still has Bizarros on the shelf........and nothing else....though I did see some Batman Movie Masters or whatever.....Buncha Batman's Buncha Scarecrows.....nothing else.

 

[lars573]

For me it's going to be the internets and my X-mas cash. www.goldenagetoys.com is offering orders on wave 2 and 3 cases.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Found the entire wave 2 at my local TRU. I restrained myself to just Robin and Deathstroke.

At least for now, anyways.t:

 

[Roughneck]

that's wave three

 

[BizarroAids]

Atom Smasher is a bit larger than the eariler BAF's. He's in 6 pieces instead of 5. Mattel change to the line for 2009 is some 6 piece BAF's. And having a prestige character in each wave who has a stand. I believe in this wave it's Flash.

Man, I'm going to have to get my hands on Booster Gold and Blue Bettle.t:

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

that's wave three

Er, yeah.

 

[Spike_x1]

I'll probably only get Captain Cold and the Flash from that wave.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

I'll probably only get Captain Cold and the Flash from that wave.

Yeah, me too. And maybe Kid Flash.

 

[Green Scar]

god those figs look great. i only wish mattel was doing marvel legends...

having marvel characters that look as good as the toys they're putting out would be amazing.

 

[bryanss3]

^^^^^^^
I second that. eff hasbro

 

[sandwraith]

Blue Beetle looks great. I'm really tempted to try buying a set off Ebay...

Also, I heard a pleasant rumor about Starman Jack Knight getting the Classics treatment. Any truth to it?

 

[Ncrawler333]

There probably will be a Starman figure eventually, though it is unlikely that it is coming next year. Starman was one of the figures included in the fan choice poll that was held, which the Question ended up winning. Question is supposed to be included in a wave coming out late next year, so any other characters included in the poll probably won't be coming until at least 2010.

Mattel has stated that they've got 12 waves planned on paper already.

Wave 8 has been announced on Mattel's online store:

http://www.mattycollector.com/store/matty/ContentTheme/pbPage.News

Wave 8 will include:

Hawkgirl
Gentleman Ghost
Dr Fate (with a chase classic version)
Parademon (both Red and Yellow versions split 50/50!)
Mr. Terrific
Vigilante
Commander Steel
C&C: Giganta

 

[Rust This World]

Not that great of a wave. Gentleman Ghost and the Parademons are cool, and JLU fans will like Hawkgirl, but there's just not much in this wave that I want.

I was hoping for Poison Ivy or Green Arrow.

 

[Ncrawler333]

I'm only really interested in Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate(either one), and maybe Gentlemen Ghost for this wave. Would have been interested in Vigilante if it had been the cowboy version. No interest at all in Mr. Terrific, Commander Steel, or either Parademon. I would like to get Giganta though, so it looks like I'll have to trade for her pieces.

I am kinda annoyed that Martian Manhunter wasn't in this wave, I was hoping that we'd get all of the original JLA members by wave 7 or 8. Hopefully he'll make it into wave 9 or 10.

Mattel isn't sculpting these guys. They farmed that out too a company called the 4 horsemen. Hasbro could easily have ML made by these guys.

 

[Roughneck]

Yeah.....I was a little shocked when I saw this lineup......I mean....the biggest names are Hawkgirl and Dr Fate.........and that Gentlemen Ghost looks phenomenal.......I am gonna have to get these....I need back into this line....it looks better with every wave.

 

[SsM]

I preordered the set.

 

[lars573]

Yeah.....I was a little shocked when I saw this lineup......I mean....the biggest names are Hawkgirl and Dr Fate.........and that Gentlemen Ghost looks phenomenal.......I am gonna have to get these....I need back into this line....it looks better with every wave.

Remember that the cases for these will have re-releases with stand included.

 

[WompuM]

Hmm... Parademon, Big Barda, Mister Mircale, Lightray. That's a lot of New Gods. I really like the green parademon.

That entire wave looks awesome (especially Gentleman Ghost). The only one I'm slightly iffy on is Vigilante, but he'll definitely be worth a pickup just to finish Giganta. Giganta is one C&C I wasn't too excited about, but she really looks great in the proto.
